Passing & Switching play practice

Skill Practice - Passing & Switching play 


  • Area size will be 24 x 12 
  • Players are split into 3 teams of 4 who will be bibed up on arrival. 
  • I will pick a team captain for each team to keep score. 
  • Players on the outside have to complete 4 passes to each other before switching to the opposite team, 1 point if successfully making 4 passes and switching play. 
  • Players in the middle must try and defend the ball with only one pressing the outside team at one time, if they successfully regain possession, they swap with the team on the outside. 

Targets 

  • Complete 4 passes before switching the ball to the opposite team for 1 point
  • If players successfully keep the ball for 8 seconds they get 3 points 
Challenges
  • Try different variations of passes, along the floor, in the air, ping pass, can we use our less dominant foot.
Conditions 
  • Players have to complete 4 passes before switching play 

Progression - If teams on the outside are having too much success i will an additional defender in to press the ball.

Possible regression - if defending team are having to much success with two pressing players i will go back to having just one defender.

  • Area size - 42 x 30 
  • Players split into two equal teams, with GK's and two natural players on each wing with bibs on. 
  • I will pick two team captains to keep score for their team. 
  • Players aim is to press high and try and score as many goals as possible 
  • Players try and use both neutral wide players before having a shot on target 
  • Working on the weight of the pass, variations of passes to complete the task before having a shot on goal. 
  • The wide neutral player can only pass to the team who passed them the ball and they can not be tackled or score.
  • Their aim is to run up and down the wing looking for a good opportunity to pass. 

Targets 

  • If players can successfully pass to everyone on their team and the wide players before scoring, counts as 5 points
  • If everyone on the team touches the ball 3 points 
  • If you score individually 1 point 

Condition 

  • Players must complete 4 passes before having a shot on goal. 

Challenge 

  • Player must try and pass to everyone on their team before scoring 

Progression

  • Players can now tackle the wide neutral players 
  • Last 3 minutes i will add the wide players into each team to make a 6v6 small sided game.
